So, you want to fix typos?

[Dan Kegel]

I see somebody's posting a few fix-typo-in-comments patches, e.g.
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048099.html
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048101.html

That reminds me that I worked out some time ago how
to find such typos efficiently.  At the risk of encouraging lots
of silly typo-fixing patches, I've documented the process here:
http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/

For instance, to find typos in comments in shell32, you can do:

sudo apt-get install ispell

wget http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/stop.txt
wget http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/lspell-pl.txt -O lspell.pl
perl lspell.pl stop.txt ~/wine-git/dlls/shell32/*.[ch]

This outputs:

I've run my 'typos' script on your custom dictionary and noticed it 
allows a couple of bad words:

nonexistant
   upto
   UPTO
   wether

and also

Codeweavers
   Bad capitalization, should be 'CodeWeavers'. I'm including it because 
the dictionary seems case sensitive.

It also allows all variants of the following though I realize you have 
no choice because these are part of longer Microsoft identifiers:
   OCCURED  (from STATUS_MCA_OCCURED)
   SEPERATOR (from MDP_SEPERATOR, SDDL_SEPERATOR and SEPERATOR)

Typos:

Fixed, thanks!  (I'm leaving the variants of CodeWeavers as that error
is not bad enough to make me cringe; I'm trying to encourage
people to only fix the really annoying ones).

Hi,

while I was searching for a description for some functions in the
html-documentation I found some broken links (these two fixes). So they
aren't only comments because they are used to produce the links in the
documentation ;-).

But if I have some time I'd like to fix some typos.
Thanks for the nice description.

Cheers
Rico

It looks like Alexandre is accepting patches to fix typos in comments.
See
 http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2008-January/039273.html

with all your typo fixes in it rather than lots of little ones.
